Doing a request by Musiciscomfort. I love this idea. Sorry it's not in summer, but on the other half of the world, it would be winter (and he has to spread winter) so I made it in summer. I've read some stories about it, but let me know if you guys have any positive criticism or any more requests!
Bunny was not a happy bunny. He had woken up, ready to get started of painting his eggs and making chocolate when he felt it. A chill in the air that could only mean Jack Frost was in his Warren.
He left his hut and went to look for the Winter teen and to (try) to keep him out of trouble. He sniffed the air, picking up on his scent and raced to the rainbow pond. There, surrounded by some eggs and golems, was Jack. Asleep.
"Not in my Warren. Oy! Frostbite! Wake up!" Bunny shouted as he nudged the spirit. No result. Then he spotted a note crumpled in his hand. Bunny carefully took the note and spread it out to read.
'Hey Cottontail.
Sorry for the intrusion,
ut every year during spring and autumn,
I have to sleep for three weeks.
Hibernation is what Mother Nature called it.
I meant to go to the Arctic,
but I didn't leave soon enough.
If you are reading this,
it's because I fell asleep in the Warren.
I apologize and hope you will understand.
Sincerely, Jack Frost.
'Why the bloody hell did he choose this place?' Bunny thought in irritation as he picked up the sleeping boy.
Bunny figured the bloke could at least sleep comfortably. He controlled the weather in the Warren, so he willed it to get colder as he went inside his hut.
The hut didn't look big, but magic made it bigger on the inside, so there were plenty of rooms. Bunny chose the guest room closest to him just so he could check up on Jack every now and then.
The weeks went by pretty slow. Bunny was used to Jack pranking him, freezing something, or actually helping prep for Easter. He'd never seen the white-haired teen sleep before, or at least had never really observed him.
His face was pale (as usual) but he looked content, a small smile covering his face. He was curled up into a little ball, as though trying to protect himself even while asleep. THe ever-present staff was clenched tightly in his hands, almost like a teddy bear.
After the three weeks were up, Bunny made sure to put water and some food on the bedside table, in case Jack was hungry when he woke up. Then he went outside and decided to paint his eggs.
A few minutes later, he heard footsteps but kept painting. Then he felt cold arms wrap themselves around his waist.
"Thank you."
That was all Jack said before flying into the air, intending on leaving, so as not to bother the Pooka. Before he could, he heard the large rabbit whisper something that made him decide the Warren was where he would spend every hibernation.
"Anytime, mate. Just glad ya woke up. Was kind of boring without ya."
AN: Next up, yet another chapter per request of sparklehannah. Then a request by Windspear240. Love your ideas and thanks for reading! Until next time, Kitkat Out!
